From description to requirements: an activity theoretic perspective. (1999)
Journal Article
Turner, P., Turner, S., & Horton, J. (1999). From description to requirements: an activity theoretic perspective. Proceedings of Group’99, 285-295

This paper demonstrates how activity theoretic concepts can be used in conjunction with an ethnographically informed approach to derive requirements on a work situation. We present a case study based on a series of collaborative design episodes,... Read More about From description to requirements: an activity theoretic perspective..

Dimensional analysis based causal ordering (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shen, Q., Peng, T., & Milne, R. (1999). Dimensional analysis based causal ordering. In Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Qualitative Reasoning (193-202)

This paper presents a novel approach for generating causal dependencies between system variables, from an acausal description of the system behaviour, and for identifying the end causal impact; in terms of whether a change in the value of an influenc...

EniSpace: Evaluating Navigation in Information Space (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCall, R., & Benyon, D. (1999). EniSpace: Evaluating Navigation in Information Space. In P. De Bra, & J. J. Leggett (Eds.), Proceedings of WebNet World Conference on the WWW and Internet 1999 (1344-1345)

Traditional methods of evaluating usability such as heuristic evaluation and cognitive walkthrough do not address all issues relating to navigation. This is despite the fact that designing effective navigation within electronic spaces is now consider... Read More about EniSpace: Evaluating Navigation in Information Space.

Operational impact: competitive advantage through improved information. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
MacKerron, G., & Campbell, G. (1999, April). Operational impact: competitive advantage through improved information

This paper discusses the approach taken in the implementation of an improved operational control system and the resulting operational performance within a small specialist clothing manufacturer. The development and implementation of a suitable manufa... Read More about Operational impact: competitive advantage through improved information..

Operational aspects in the adoption of an information system in a S.M.E. - a case study. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
MacKerron, G., & Campbell, G. (1999, April). Operational aspects in the adoption of an information system in a S.M.E. - a case study

This case study reviews the approach taken within a small specialist clothing manufacturer which, due to increasing demand, had to adopt a Manufacturing Information System (M.I.S.) to improve their production control information. The development and... Read More about Operational aspects in the adoption of an information system in a S.M.E. - a case study..

Political parties, democracy and the new information and communication technologies: theorising the relationships (1999)
Journal Article
Löfgren, K., & Smith, C. F. (1999). Political parties, democracy and the new information and communication technologies: theorising the relationships. Working paper / Faculty of Business, Glasgow Caledonian University,

As a result of the increased public penetration of the Internet and other forms of electronic networks in western liberal democracies there has, for some years now, been a growing academian interest in technologically mediated practices within politi...

Two evolutionary approaches to cross-clustering problems. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Luchian, H., Paechter, B., Radulescu, V., & Luchian, S. (1999). Two evolutionary approaches to cross-clustering problems. In Proceedings of the 1999 Congress on Evolutionary Computation (860-870). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.1999.782514

Cross-clustering asks for a Boolean matrix to be brought to a quasi-canonical form. The problem has many applications in image processing, circuit design, archaeology, ecology etc. The heuristics currently used to solve it rely on either topologi...

Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. (1999)
Journal Article
LePlâtre, G., & Brewster, S. A. (1999). Perspectives on the design of musical auditory interfaces. CASYS, 4, 227-239

This paper addresses the issue of music as a communication medium in auditory humancomputer interfaces. So far, psychoacoustics has had a great influence on the development of auditory interfaces, directly and through music cognition. We suggest t...

How stories capture interactions. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Imaz, M., & Benyon, D. (1999). How stories capture interactions. In M. A. Sasse, & C. Johnson (Eds.), Human-Computer Interaction - Interact '99

Stories have an important role in designing HCI systems because they contribute to the representation of contextual information. User Stories are the first artefacts we use in order to describe interactions, but for implementation purposes we need so... Read More about How stories capture interactions..
